Do you think that some in your congregation admire you for leaving?

    I know a few in my congregation that are really on the fence. They are inactive, disfellowshipped, and then they return, to start all over again.

    When I meet them, they give me the impression that they would love to be inactive like me, as if I did something they can't do, or would like to do. Although they would like to leave, just I left, they are stuck there for all kinds of reasons, let it be family or work or any reason.

    When I meet some of these people I mentionned above, it shows in their eyes, that they would also love to be free.

    Now and then, I meet all kinds of witnesses, and since I'm not df'd, they will talk to me in a limited way, knowing that they wont see me for another 6 months or so. And I feel that they admire me to a certain extent, for being rebellious and standing up to the elders.

    They would love to see me come back, I know, but they see how free I am, and to a certain extent, they would also love to be free like me, and get away with it.

    kls*, are you the same as kls? The avatar is the same and the name almost the same. If you are the same person why did you change your username albeit slightly?

    JH I suppose the JWs that want to leave but can't for whatever reasons will admire as heroes the dubs that have the courage to set sail especially if this is a costly move leaving behind many friends and relatives.

    What a pity kls, it shows why we should store, back up, such information on paper not just electronically or at least on another medium such as a CD.

    When I went to the memorial this year, many were happy to see me, except the elders who didn't smile at all, and looked so serious.

    The elders know that I got away unpunished, and set a bad example for the others to follow.

    Yeah, I feel that I got away and I feel like a hero.
